Diaper Bag Essentials – What To Pack

It’s been almost two months since the arrival of my little girl, and after a dozen of various outings, I have finally come to know the essentials and frivolous of the contents of a diaper bag. Thankfully I found a bag that fits everything I need (and then some!), and a mini version for quick trips to the mailbox or a walk around the block.

diaper kit(a handful of diapers, baby wipes, diaper cream–handily together in a dual pouch wet bag that works for disposable or cloth diapers)

spare clothes for mama(nursing top from ella bella maternity, an extra nursing bra, and disposable underwear for the first few weeks)

spare clothes for baby(baby’s current size & one size up just in case you forget to switch it out in a few weeks–I keep mine in a wet bag so that the dirty ones don’t mess everything else up)

my purse(bare basics only; technically a large wallet) & keys

travel mug or water bottle

a spare wetbag (just in case!)

I love this bag so much that I’ve ordered a mini version for strolls around the block, which is the perfect size to fit the bare essentials (cotton cloth, wipes, water bottle, mini swaddle, and wallet), or to act as my purse on my non-baby trips. I’ll post another photo once it arrives!
